Chapter 5

Groggy, Lily climbed out of bed. Accompanied with a towel she sped down the stairs to make sure Remus and Sirius were all right. They had been making bit of noise the night before, even though Lily knew it was all Sirius. Sirius was the loveable weirdo. She smiled and walked back up the stairs. James was still sleeping in the bed, resembling a rock.

She lay back down staring back at his face. She was instantly reminded of how she was deeply agitated by him during their Hogwarts years, but Lily had come to her senses much later than sooner. She had realized that James was a man who deeply cared for her, rather than an arrogant Quidditch player. Well she has realized that after he had lowered his ego a bit.

Lily let out a yawn awaking James. He rolled over staring at Lily with a slight grin on his face. "Hullo," he croaked.

Lily smiled back and answered, "Hello dear, what's with waking up so late?"

"Er Lily it's only eight," he replied throwing the silk pillow over his head.

"Ah of course considering the three of you last night, I mean really how you guys stay up that late?"

"Dunno, make breakfast yet?" he asked patting his stomach.

"Sure thing, I mean just because I'm a woman that means I have to make breakfast huh? Right? And just because I'm a woman I'm the one who has to carry the baby!" Lily retorted.

James lifted the pillow from his face and raised his eyebrow at her. "Well the last time I tried to cook I set the stove on fire, and well the baby thing I can't change that. If I could I would carry that baby-"

"Oh no, don't you dare give me that speech about how if you could you'd carry the baby, because you bloody well know that you wouldn't!" screamed Lily. James looked down at his palms as he buried his face into them. Must be some pregnancy thing, he thought to himself. Lily has stormed out of the room and down the creaky stairs.

After a few silent moments thinking to himself Remus and Sirius walked into the room. Sirius had a red patches all over his face, while Remus was trying to fix his hair which was untidy and sticking up in all place resembling James's hair. "What the bloody-?" James tried to ask.

"Lily, she…she tried-," panted Remus.

"Your wife is a mad woman! She needs help, and you think I have problems?" replied Sirius.

"Well what do you mean? Yeah she is pregnant, you know she might get a little testy at times," James said defending his wife.

"Testy?! She's not testy, she's mental!" screamed Sirius rubbing his cheek was as red as Lily's hair.

"Erm well what happened?" asked James afraid to hear what Lily had done in a minimal five minutes.

"Well Remus and I were just goofing off," started Sirius.

"How much were you goofing off?" asked James.

"It was all him!" shouted Remus making sure that he wouldn't be blamed.

"Well maybe we broke a few vases, and a couple of plates. Perhaps a grandfather clock," added Sirius.

"Well no wonder that was Lily's great grandfathers!" screeched James.

"Ah well she could just buy a new one," continued Sirius as James rolled his eyes, " and then she started screaming at us. She called us prats and gits. She was throwing things at us, sharp and heavy things. When that wasn't working she beat me with a pillow and tried to rip out Moony's hair." James was a bit taken back, for it didn't sound like something Lily would do.

"Well sorry? I don't know what exactly to do with Lily right now. I mean this morning she was smiling at me and the next thing she was screaming at me!"

"Women can't live with them, and without them well it'd be pretty boring although to Moony it wouldn't be much of a difference," said Sirius.

"Hey, ladies like me as much as they like you! Maybe even more," Remus grimly replied.

"You're not fooling anyone," quickly added Sirius.

"C'mon maybe she'll be in a better mood, and I thought maybe we go visit Wormtail today," James suggested slipping on a pair of navy blue slippers.

"And we'd do that why?" asked Sirius.

"C'mon let's just go." James led the three down the stairs and as they approached the kitchen they stopped. Lily was fussing over the paper with tears streaming down her face. Sirius insensitively snatched the toast from her plate along with the Daily Prophet. James hurried over to her and put his arm around her and asked, "What's wrong Lily?"

She held back tears as she tried to wipe the current ones on her face, "Him. He's killing more people, James! James I'm scared. What if he comes after our baby?" Lily let out a sob as James rubbed her back.

"Lily, don't worry it'll be alright. Plenty of people have babies here in Godric's Hollow and they're healthy and fine," James consoled her.

"Oh seriously James, think about it! You were so horrible to Severus and if he's really a Death Eater, well maybe he could tell you know who. You-Know-Who could target us!" shrieked Lily.

"There are a few flaws in that theory, dear. How would Snivellus, I mean Severus know that you were pregnant, and why would Vold- I mean You-Know-Who care about his sorrows and how much he hated us?"

"Oh James, I'm just so worried, I just want this baby to have the best life that it can have!" she cried.

"Yeah the baby will especially with me as the uncle!" exclaimed Sirius.

"Sirius you're not the uncle!" shouted Remus.

Listening to the shouting match between Remus and Sirius and the sobs of Lily James started to think about his life. He'd be a father. He kept repeating this over in his head before finally realizing the true meaning of it. He'd be along with Lily responsible for a baby. A human. He could barely take care of himself without Lily. He knew without a doubt Lily would be a great mother, the best mother a child could ever ask for.

"James, James, are you crying?" asked Sirius as he gave a confused look James way.

"What? I um er I have something in my eye! God Lily don't you ever clean this place!" James hadn't thought about he said until Lily had started screaming at him. James had been more considered in keeping his macho status.

Without a word Lily made her way up the stairs silently crying. "She's a woman, she'll get over it. They're into all that emotional junk," Sirius added shoving another piece of toast into his mouth.

"You know I still don't see why women are attracted to you, you're so prejudice against them," Remus said.

"I'm so not prejudice against women! Just a couple of weeks ago I went out with a woman with such bushy eyebrows her eyes looked like two fuzzy sweaters," Sirius added.

"Oh god, come on let's just go. I'll leave Lily a note," suggested James.

As James scribbled on a piece of parchment that he along with Sirius and Remus would be out, they had started yelling each other again. "Just because you're not getting any, Remus doesn't mean you have to pick on me about my girls I go out with," Sirius said.

"And just because I'm not a manwhore doesn't mean I don't get any," Remus added. James let out a laugh but quickly seized his mouth shot as Remus shot a look at him.

"Er, I think we should go," James said.

"You know Moony I'll still always love you and your virginess and how much you envy my manliness and how much women fuss over how beautiful me and how I'm the greatest guy-"

"Shut up Sirius."

Er, well I hope you like it? Review and tell me what you think!!
